    Definitely think there's more than fitness/injury issues with Shaqiri, what we're told are slight injuries seem to last forever with him, so somethings not adding up. It's a pity because he definitely has the ability to give us something different when he's available.

    Great share man. Kind of forget his mentor would have been Rush. Unreal.
    Imagine if he declared for Ireland too! He would have fed off Quinny all day!

    Era, whenever there's a vacuum (or just lack) of information, rumours always pop up. The Clyne stuff was all total nonsense, and I'd say any rumours around Shaq (beyond injuries and just being out of favour with a big squad) are the same.

    I really like Shaq, was delighted we signed him, but at the moment who does he get game-time ahead of? Even in the league cup, you have Minamino and Jones who take up similar positions, and both of whom are clearly seen as options for the longer term. At right wing forward you have Elliott who the club are giving secondary minutes to when they can since he won't get much in the league.

    Barring a lot of injuries to other players, there's just not really room to give him the time to get match fit. He was ideal for that period just after he signed where we played 4-2-1-3 before Fabinho had settled in the season before last, and got a lot of time as the 1 before christmas that year, but since we switched to 4-3-3 there's just not been a natural spot for him. Add in the injuries, and he's just been unfortunate, but such is life at a top club, there's no margin for error.

    Corner. Taken. Quickly.

    What a bizarre celebration that was. Barely saw it happen and was certain it would be disallowed. Not really sure why it was just a mad feeling, seeing it go in, thinking it wouldn't count, then realising it was a goal....holy moly

    I'll never tire of this game either. Wijnaldum's second was just an incredible moment

    Yeah, my favourite goal of the night. What some people forget is that it came within just 30 seconds of the restart (but because of VAR reviewing his first one, it seemed longer). Also, he said afterwards that he couldn’t celebrate the first because they were still losing the tie, but he let loose after the second went in.

    Best quality goal and best celebration on the night. Poor Divock’s celebrations have always been very flat/weird.

    Gomez won't train again til Friday, so maybe Monday against Arsenal is possible.
    Henderson still a massive doubt for a Monday.
    Mario won't return until the next international break.

    The main 'first team' takeaways from Ljinders press conference ahead of the Lincoln. All 3 won't be involved in the League Cup game anyways.

    One of the funniest celebrations I've ever seen was when Origi scored a 96th minute winner vs Everton and immediately picked the ball up and started running back to the center spot before being told to stop

    And seeing as he's a talking point, the assist was a great cross from Shaqiri! :)

    No Salah, No Firmino, Shaqiri starting, Robbo off at half time.

    I'd say this game haunts Barca more than the drubbing they got this year.

    Just before the second leg of the Barcelona tie was a pretty bleak time. We were three down with all those players missing and I remember saying to someone we had more chance of winning the CL than the PL. While we just ended up a point shy I genuinely felt the league was gone. We had lost the final the year before. Had run City to the wire but could never see us competing with them on an ongoing basis (I thought 2019 was our one chance)

    some rollercoster since, well a rollercoster that's just kept going up

    Burnley have played Brady & Eric Pieters as their right winger lately. Gudmansson seems to have a few injuries and don't really have anyone else capable of playing on the right wing. Could be a good move for him, in terms of starting regularly for a PL side.

    Anecdote time.

    My favourite match of all time also and Origi's 2nd goal for me was the pick not because of the quality but because of the quick thinking, ingenuity and freedom of expression TAA had which is a direct result of the way Klopp empowers the players.

    The anecdote bit is my young lad was mad because he was studying for the LC at the time so was reluctantly stuck in the school study hall as I'd said it would be a miracle to get anything out of the tie given we were 3-0 down and missing Firmino and Salah.

    20 minutes after Origi's 1st goal went in the young lad burst into the room, threw his bag on the ground and hopped onto the couch swearing the comeback was on, how he'd never listen to me again and whilst he could always repeat the LC he wasn't going to miss this match no matter what I said :P

    Turns out himself and a few LFC supporting pals had their phones on in study and there was a general "yesssss" emitted when Origi's 1st went in followed by heads nodding towards the door and 5 or 6 of them up and leaving without permission.

    All turned out grand in the end :D

    One of the best nights football and shared experiences I've had with my son ever and that includes trips to Anfield and holidays etc. We were hopping all over the place during the match and on cloud nine for days after.

    Special.

    another testament to how quick the thinking was for Origi's 2nd goal was that Klopp missed the entire thing!

    Talks of Burnley being taken over. Maybe they will have some cash to spend, and will be able to spend a bit more for Harry Wilson.

    Dyche has been doing his nut because of the "takeover" and his CEO, lost several players who ran out of contract and uncertainty about funding not just because of Covid but lack of clarity about what would be available in any event with the takeover still not finalised. Can he spend or not? I think they have 20 players of whom 3 are keepers.

    I've never quite understood the Barca and Madrid thing of tossing out absolutely massive wages. Like, be competitive, sure, but they pay wages that are way over the odds, while also being the biggest draw in football terms (not quite as much of late, but certainly were when these wages were given). Surely you only need to be paying insane money if its a slightly less appealing club? Like PSG in a less competitive league, or a club that's not sure about getting in the CL places, or the Russian or Chinese clubs.

    But I just can't see the logic to giving Bale 600k a week for instance. No-one else was gonna offer him that sort of money, and you were already a really appealing choice in a great city, team, and league, even with more competitive wages...

    See it with half the Barca lads too (Messi being somewhat of an exception), where most of them I'm sure would've accepted less if this crazy expectation wasn't set. Like Griezmann more than doubling his Atletico wages to over 800k a week!

    It just makes no sense to me.

    I think it's a 'brag' from the board. Barca def took they eye off the ball when it came to on the field stuff, focused more on trying to be Forbes No1, "We're the best paying club"......etc

    I think you're probably right on the arrogance front, but it just seems so utterly insane from clubs that do actually have to run as businesses to at least some extent.

    We see three European giants in Barca, Real, and Juve on the brink of real financial troubles because of this stuff, seemingly quite unnecessarily.

    I wonder if Thiago will start tomorrow night?

    Was surprised to see him play against Chelsea after one training session. No bedding in time into the system. But then, the red card changed the game and there was always going to be the number overload somewhere so to make Thiago with his passing ability as the extra man was a very smart move by Klopp. The ability for Chelsea to press him was also reduced. It reminded by of the Modric sub that Mourinho made after the Nani red card all those years ago in the CL. The attacking overload only lasted about 15 mins but it won the tie.

    I think Arsenal will be a different propositions to Chelsea. They are improved a lot defensively under Arteta and will look to attack on the counter more. I think they might even look to get players running off of Thiago at pace as a source of this counter attacking. I have a feeling they Klopp will go for a tried and tested midfield against Arsenal, with Thiago again coming from the bench to either attempt change the game or see out the game.

    For these reasons, I think we might see Thiago start tomorrow in the Cup. Play 60 mins alongside Milner & Jones. By the sounds of things, it will be two inexperienced players in central defence, alongside a full back making his debut and a teenager so having the experienced midfield in front of them will help things. I think because of the quicker turnaround in general this season, maybe they will want all players to keep a higher intensity and manage minutes throughout the season. As opposed to just resting the entire first team for the cups, we could see some first team players playing
    more in order to keep them match fit. As opposed to players playing once a month and then hoping they are ready when they come in cold. Arsenal in the next round too so the 'squad players' will have to be ready for that and not be playing their first game in a while. Ljinders also said to expect a stronger team than expected.
